Pokémon: Encounter

Chapter 301: The Value of the Phoenix King

In a flash, everyone followed the figure to another relatively spacious cave.

"Ha...ha...I have achieved nearly a month's worth of exercise in just one day!"

Fang Nuo sat aside, panting and complaining.

"Huh... I asked you to go jogging with me every morning, but you always complain about being tired!"

Although Fang Nan is small, he has quite good physical strength.

After escaping the crisis, several people relaxed.

Nan Fang raised his head and stared at the majestic figure in front of him.

"Finally we meet."

The three sacred beasts, the Emperor of Fire, and the Yan Emperor.

It has orange-red hair and iron rings on its strong limbs.

It has red hexagram-shaped structures on its cheeks and a clover-like golden hair shell on its forehead.

There is a wisp of white smoke behind it, extending from the back of its neck to the back of its tail. There are also wing-like white dorsal horns on both sides of its body, which looks ferocious and solemn.

At this moment, everyone realized the oppressive feeling brought by this two-meter-tall holy beast.

"Rainbow Hero, judging from your aura, I should be the last one to meet you."

"That's right. Although I really want to ask you what the trial is for me, it doesn't seem appropriate in this situation right now."

"I don't actually know the specific trial. Everything is left to fate."

It's fatalism again.

The South doesn't like this word very much.

"Oh, forget it. We should first figure out how to leave here. And..."

Nan Fang was about to say something but stopped himself, turned around and looked at Emperor Yan again.

"I have no idea how they got here."

Yan Di spoke first.

"I have been sleeping for who knows how many years."

"Suddenly one day, a mysterious and huge force suddenly awakened me. And then they appeared."

"They are referring to those unknown totems, right? What about the little girl?"

Fang Nan asked anxiously.

"You mean the one that looks like a human? It appeared here later."

"Wait a minute! Looks like a human?"

The South seemed to have caught something.

"Are you saying that Keli is not a real human?"

"Besides the most basic differences in appearance, humans and Pokémon also have different souls and spirits. Although among Pokémon, some can mimic or even transform into humans."

“But they are still fundamentally different.”

"This may be difficult for you humans and some weaker Pokémon to distinguish."

“But, for me, it’s very easy.”

"From what I can tell from the species you mentioned, Klee, it's not a Pokémon, nor is it a human."

Yan Di leaned over and lay aside, speaking calmly.

!!!

Compared with Emperor Yan's calmness, the people in the south were quite shocked.

Although the group from the South had their doubts at first, as they interacted with each other afterwards, Klee's behavior and even her various physical characteristics showed that she was completely no different from a normal human being.

Fang Nan, who has held Klee in his arms, has the most say.

There was silence for a moment.

"It seems there are many hidden secrets here. But no matter what, at least our main goal now is to be able to return safely."

"So what about your trial?"

Bai Ruoruo spoke out.

"I already have a rough idea of what to expect after the two previous experiences."

"The trial is not restricted to a certain format. It could be a battle, an event, or even just a simple meeting."

"Or rather, the trial had already begun when we first met."

Nan Fang looked at Emperor Yan and said in a deep voice.

Rested for a while again.

Yan Emperor said that it could lead several people out of the cave.

Afterwards, everyone decided to go back to Haimo Village and make other plans. After all, faced with a large number of unknown totems and an unknown Klee, the clues they knew were too few.

After all, no one knew that the originally envisioned mountaineering expedition would turn out like this.

"After passing through this long cave, you can go directly out."

Yan Di stopped and said.

"Thank you, Yan Di. I really hope that the trial will end like this. We will meet again in another way."

"I am looking forward."

Um! ?

At this moment, Nan Fang and Yan Di frowned and looked forward at the same time.

"What...what happened?"

Fang Nuo saw that something was wrong and asked with some guilt.

"Someone!"

As soon as Nan Fang finished speaking, he heard a few scattered footsteps not far ahead.

"Is it the south? Great! I didn't expect we could meet here!"

Zhang Jiuxing's voice suddenly came over.

Zhang Jiuxing walked in the front, followed by five teammates he selected.

Before setting off, Nan Fang remembered that among the six people, Zhang Jiuxing was the leader. There were two scientific researchers, two trainers who acted as bodyguards but whose strength was unknown, and a local person who acted as a tour guide.

"This! This is actually the Entei!? You actually found the Entei! I really didn't misjudge him!"

An inexplicable light flashed in Zhang Jiuxing's eyes.

The two researchers behind him also looked extremely excited.

"We got lost in this cave and met by chance. Yan Di is ready to guide us out."

Nan Fang did not mention the matter of the unknown totem here, and responded lightly.

"It is indeed a sacred beast! It seems that these sacred beasts are mostly favorable to us humans!"

"Comrade Nan Fang! Could you please help us communicate with Emperor Yan? We promise! It's just a few questions!"

Nan Fang was helpless. Who would have thought that he would meet Zhang Jiuxing at this time.

But in the final analysis, the biggest purpose of this expedition is indeed to conduct some research on Yan Emperor.

I think if I'm just asking a few questions, Emperor Yan probably won't say much...right?

"Back off!"

Just as Nanfang turned around, Emperor Yan suddenly jumped in front of several people from the Nanfang area, and with a roar, he instantly dispersed the attack from the opposite side.

That's right! Attack!

Nan Fang was shocked and turned around suddenly.

Zhang Jiuxing and the two researchers looked at Nan Fang and Yan Di with smug looks on their faces.

The two trainers who acted as bodyguards were standing in front of Zhang Jiuxing and his group with evil smiles on their faces. There was a Caterpie standing beside each of them. The attack just now was also caused by them.

"Since you refuse to leave when we ask you to, don't blame us for being rude!"

"Damn humans! Damn Entei!"

The local villager roared towards the south.

"Something's wrong! They...are being manipulated!"

Nan Fang saw that the pupils of Zhang Jiuxing and the others looked a little strange, and the words spoken by the villager seemed even more familiar.

"Unknown totem..."

A little tricky.

Nan Fang was confident that he could defeat the other side even if he was alone. But the difficulty was that he didn't know to what extent the unknown totem controlled them, and whether it could cause any harm.

Nan Fang was calculating in his mind how to knock them out without hurting them.

"Eh!? Entei, wait a minute!"

At this time, Emperor Yan actually took the initiative to walk forward.

"I said, I don't know how I hurt you to the point where you are so hostile to me."

"But now you are still aggressive and want to involve some irrelevant humans."

"I don't mind being your enemy."

"Oh! You sinner! You always act innocent! Damn Yan Di! We won't let you go!"

The villager controlled by the unknown totem said viciously.

"Humph!"

The Yan Emperor Tiger... the beast's body shook! The pressure was fully exerted!

An invisible energy spread out!

The six opponents plus two Grunts fell to the ground immediately.
